when he comes back Begin will probably be hurt by then... if not, alternate Kosto and him... whoever play better...

Anyway we'll have some injuries so I suspect all 4 (Lappy, BGL, Kosto and Begin) to see their fair amount of games (50+ each)

Kostopoulos will see 70 IMO. Same with Laraque, or slightly less(65)
Begin is the big ? in my books. Lapierre is lost at this point so that's why I'm leaning with Chiper. Stewart could play if Begin can't keep up.

Potulny is a fine depth player. Another guy that struck me that is on waivers is 2006 draft pick from the Isles, Tomas Marcinko. This kid was kinda hyped at one point in that draft. A 6'4 centerman that has some nice speed and skill for his game, I really wonder what's the problem with im.....

I'm confused. Why does Marcinko need to be waived? He's 20 years old, played in the OHL last year...

He's still a decent prospect, though he hasn't put up huge offensive numbers.

Any activity from our end? There should be a lot of activity at least for other teams in the league. Could we be tempted by that to fill that 4th line centerman position if the org. feels that Lapierre and Chipchura can't do the job? Ryan Stone from the Pens will be available and while he doesn't seem to have the offensive touch some thought he would, the kid is a pretty big 6'2'' centerman with tons of grit. Who else is scheduled to up there that could be somewhat interesting?

Or should we already be prepared to see Lapierre at that position by default even though he's really average from what we've saw and hear so far and even though Chipchura has some fine but moreso some bad moments as well.

Any link people can provide so we could be updated to whoever go on that waiver wire as it happen?

Chipchura is the ideal fourth line center at the moment, no need to see elsewhere..
